Processor requirements

Multiprocessor systems are recommended for the IBM® Tivoli® Infrastructure components.

The infrastructure components (monitoring server, portal server, portal client) run as multithreaded processes and are able to run threads concurrently across multiple processors if they are available. CPU utilization for most components can be high for a short moment from time to time, and steady-state CPU utilization is expected to be low in most cases. For components supporting large environments, using multiprocessor systems can improve throughput.
